Why are you taking this class if you don't want to know these answers?
You'll never get a job in this field if you don't know anything about it.
The thin,epithelial casing that covers the hard palate is called the
1. The largest of the salivary glands is the Parotid. To answer this question, you would need to have prior knowledge of the different salivary glands and their sizes. The size of the salivary glands can be obtained through research or studying anatomy textbooks or resources.
2. The portion of the tooth that is used for mastication and is visible in the oral cavity is the Crown. This answer can be obtained by knowing the anatomy of a tooth. The crown is the part of the tooth that is visible above the gum line and is responsible for biting and chewing.
3. The Palate makes up the superior part of the oral cavity and the inferior portion of the nasal cavity. This answer can be obtained by studying anatomy textbooks or resources that describe the structures of the oral and nasal cavities.
4. The opening of the Stensen's duct is located in the buccal mucosa, just opposite the maxillary second molar. To find this answer, you would need to know the location of Stensen's duct, which is a salivary duct, and its relationship to the maxillary second molar.
5. The Mandibular labial frenum is located in the lower dental arch, between the two lower central incisors. To answer this question, you would need to know the location and anatomy of the different frenums in the mouth.
6. The Sublingual gland is located in the lower anterior floor of the mouth. This information can be obtained from studying the anatomy of the salivary glands.
7. The apex is located at the Apical foramen. This answer requires knowledge of the anatomy of a tooth. The apex is the tip of the root, and the apical foramen is the opening at the tip of the root through which blood vessels and nerves enter the tooth.
8. The section of the tooth where the anatomical crown meets the anatomical root is called the Cervix. To answer this question, you would need to know the terminology used to describe the different parts of a tooth.
9. The maxillary lateral incisors are the smallest and weakest teeth in the maxillary arch. This answer requires knowledge of the anatomy and characteristics of the different teeth in the mouth.
10. The permanent dentition numbers 32 teeth altogether. This answer can be obtained from studying the dental formula for permanent teeth, which is 2-1-2-3/2-1-2-3.
11. The eruption time of primary first molars in the maxillary arch occurs at about 9-10 months. This answer can be obtained from studying the eruption sequence and timeline of primary teeth.
12. Premature loss of the Primary Cuspid can cause arch disharmony. To answer this question, you would need to know the consequences of early tooth loss on the alignment and harmony of the dental arches.
13. One function of the periodontal ligament is to hold the tooth firmly in the socket. This answer can be obtained from studying the functions and structure of the periodontal ligament.
14. In the periodontal ligament, the Oblique fibers are the most numerous and make up the bulk of all fibers. This answer requires knowledge of the different types and arrangement of fibers in the periodontal ligament.
15. The Gingiva is the pink tissue that surrounds the teeth and covers the alveolar mucosa. This answer can be obtained from studying the anatomy and structure of the oral tissues.
16. The section of a tooth that extends from the incisal edge to the crest of the gingival height is the Clinical Crown. To answer this question, you would need to know the difference between anatomical crown and clinical crown and their respective locations.
17. The Sublingual gland is also known as the mixed gland. To answer this question, you would need to know the different salivary glands and their respective names.
18. The minor salivary glands are found on the Buccal mucosa, palate, and lips. This answer can be obtained from studying the distribution of minor salivary glands in the oral cavity.
19. The thin, epithelial casing that covers the hard palate is called the Palatal ridge. This answer requires knowledge of the anatomy and terminology used to describe the structures of the hard palate.
20. The Anatomical root is the area of a tooth from the Cervix to the apex. To answer this question, you would need to know the different parts and terminology used to describe the structure of a tooth.
